Guest artist Stephen Davis (Centenary College) takes students through the fascinating world of stage make-up. The first day covers the basics and how stage make-up differs from traditional techniques, while also exploring some tried-and-true theatrical tricks, including how to create a more youthful look on stage. On the second day, students will transform themselves under the mentorship of Mr. Davis, into a variety of fantastic creatures of their own. A Ben Nye Theatrical Make-Up Kit is required for the class, which will be ordered through The Shakespeare Theatre at a special industry discount – a perfect take-away from the class so that you can continue to explore your own mad-cap make-up creations in the future.

Classes will be held in the F.M. Kirby Shakespeare Theatre:
36 Madison Avenue, Madison.
